text is a tough way to do audio — ⇧ SHIFT — ⌃ CONTROL — ⌥ OPTION — ⌘ COMMAND
Octave 3
Sets the octave indicator on the Step Input Keyboard to start at C3. I can’t see any other thing that it affects. I’m not sure if it is simply a guide for the eyes, or if I’m missing the point.
Use step input recording in Logic Pro — Apple Support
Step input allows you to insert MIDI notes when you’re not recording in real time. You can use step input to create note runs that may be too fast for you to play or to replicate sheet music that’s too difficult for you to play.
Set Pattern Playback Mode to Forward ⌃⌥]
Change the pattern playback mode.
Modify Step Sequencer pattern playback in Logic Pro — Apple Support
By default, steps in a pattern sound from left to right, similar to how the playhead moves from left to right in the Tracks area. You can change the playback mode for the overall pattern, and choose a different playback mode for individual rows.
Logic Pro Step Sequencer overview — Apple Support
Step Sequencer is inspired by classic hardware step sequencers that have rows of configurable switches or knobs used to generate repeating musical patterns. In Step Sequencer, you create patterns by editing multifunctional steps in the step grid. Each row controls either a sound (which can be a drum kit piece, a note on an instrument, or a range of notes) or an automation parameter (letting you create automation changes over time in the pattern). Each step represents a definable length of musical time–by default, steps are of equal length, but you can change the length for individual rows or steps. You can adjust a wide range of parameters for individual steps, including velocity, pitch, gate time, and more; and edit pattern and row settings including pattern length, row loop start and end points, playback position, and rotation.
New Monitor
Creates a new monitor object in the current layer of the MIDI Environment. There is a 32 event limit which seems small, but in reality is certainly enough for almost any command series. SysEX need not apply.
Monitor objects in the Logic Pro Environment — Apple Support
A monitor object displays all events (MIDI and meta) passing through it. It remembers the last 32 events, with the newest events shown at the bottom of the list. You can resize it to show from 1 to 32 events. Clicking anywhere in the body of the monitor clears all events.
Wrapped View
Switch the Score Editor to “wrapped view”. A single track/instrument on the display with the part moving to the next line when the edge of the page is reached. A typical “lead sheet”.
NB you can have multiple Score Editor windows open at the same time, each with their own set of tracks and their own viewing state.
View tracks as music notation in Logic Pro — Apple Support
Wrapped view: Shows one or more tracks in a lead sheet–style, line-wrapped view
1/64 Note 7
Set the note value to a 1/64 note.
I don’t think that I have seen 1/64 notes scored for brass. Maybe some strings or percussion.
